Abstract

In Part I of this series [Marrone, Numerical study on the dissipation mechanisms in sloshing flows induced by violent and high-frequency accelerations. I. Theoretical formulation and numerical investigation, Phys. Rev. Fluids 6, 114801 (2021)10.1103/PhysRevFluids.6.114801], a theoretical formulation and the numerical model were developed in order to obtain a complete perspective of the energy balance of a violently accelerated flow confined inside a rectangular tank. The tank-fluid system was periodically excited with a predetermined law of motion and the force between the wall and the fluid and the global energy balance were computed. In this second part, the experimental validation of the previous formulation is presented. In order to make a comparison with a previous experimental campaign, where the tank moves along a single degree of freedom mechanical guide, two numerical problems have been studied: in the first, the decaying movement of the tank is prescribed according to the experimental measurements, and in the second the tank is coupled to a mass-spring-damper equation, and the sloshing force produced by the confined fluid acts as an external force. Both problems have been studied for two different fluids, water and oil, which implies a difference of two orders of magnitude in terms of Reynolds number. A complete description of the energy balance inside the fluid tank is performed and the complexity of the fluid dynamic behavior that takes place inside the tank is explained. The results are compared to the experimental measurements in terms of fluid-wall interaction and energy dissipation.
